Abstract

It has been well evidenced that test rigs enhance learning activities in the classroom, facilitate students’ understanding of difficult concepts, as well as enhance the level of practical skills. In the context of engineering education, it serves as a useful tool for establishing the link between theory or different fields of studies, and their application. However, the literature lacks articles related to various kinds of compressors that can be used in car’s HVAC systems. The purpose in this work is to create a test rig for the car air-conditioning compressors with the use of Honda Jazz Hybrid 2016 system and to determine the performance characteristics of different types of the compressor in various conditions. The 2nd aim is to measure and compare critical performance variables such as temperature, pressure, refrigerant flow rate and system efficiency, which can provide helpful information with respect to enhancing automotive air conditioning systems. It also entails the latest sensors like, thermocouples for monitoring temperatures, temperature and pressure sensors, and accelerometers to capture the performance of the compressors at a given time. MATLAB and DigiVibeMX are used for data analysis so that detailed examination of acquired data is possible with or without techniques. At the initial development of the Car Air Conditioning Compressor Test Rig, some of the activities to be done are as follows: In addition, this study posits to help reduce the gap in teaching by providing learners with an efficient physical learning aid that can help them study and learn from real HVAC parts. The test arrangement is utilized for both study and instructional purposes, offering students the chance to conduct experiments and be exposed to new knowledge concerning sophisticated HVAC technologies at the same time
